Win4Lin works well (again, if you only want to run windoze). I've found
that for me it has a _much_ smaller performance hit than VMWare (both
1.x and 2.0). YMMV.
I run Quicken, Photoshop, MathCAD, VB, and others (mostly stuff that
isn't available on Linux in some form [I haven't converted to the GIMP
yet :-)]). Haven't found anything that doesn't work, yet. And file
sharing is easier (IMO). Sure beats rebooting all the time...
